NO

Will George Bush be reelected for a 3rd term?

Only if they play schedule British Columbia Poly Technical Junior Business College for the next 8 games.

Well they probably would have to get quite possibly a 4 game winning streak going starting Saturday to make it to 6 wins. They obviously must beat YSU, or else they will be #1 in the Bottom 10.

Disclaimer: I am not counting anyone out. Obviously right now everyone looks like they could beat Pitt.

That said, they start BE play with the 3 teams picked by most preseason to finish 6th, 7th, and 8th (Rutgers, UC, & USF). It's still to early to tell though as I really don't know how good a team like USF is. They got beat where we expected them to and then crushed two complete scrubs, so who knows. Pitt would surely have to improve to even go 3-0 against those guys to start though.

Their last 4:

Cuse
@UofL
UConn
@ WVU

I suspect they have the toughest last 4, not even going off preseason but off of what we have seen so far. I don't know if they will get much better on offense with them demanding Palko do what he is not good at, but you'd think they will get at least somewhat better. I say 5-6.

Don't think so...there are a lot of teams in this league better then Ohio U....also there are a ton of rumors circulating about tension between Wanny and Palko....The Pitt/Rutgers game is shaping up to be a big one for both schools' bowl hopes



Jackson

Something to keep in mind. I'm certainly not sold on DW but maybe he gets the job done, at least starting next year.


Just A Thought
The head coach returned to campus after a long career as an NFL assistant and head coach. He came back to bring together a divided fandom. And with great expectations, he lost a shocker to a much smaller school that made for embarrassing headlines. And he lost two other games to big-name opponents. All that fanfare, and the head coach was 0-3. Talk about being upset.

Dave Wannstedt at Pitt in 2005? Could be. It also could be Gene Stallings at Alabama. The former Crimson Tide assistant returned to Tuscaloosa after coaching the St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals in the NFL. Alabama opened with a shocking 27-24 loss to to Southern Mississippi, which had a quarterback by the name of Brett Favre. Then Florida came to Tuscaloosa and won 17-13. The following week, the Tide blew a late lead and lost at Georgia, 17-16.

After that 0-3 start, Alabama won seven of its next eight and went to the Fiesta Bowl. From 1991-93, Alabama won 28 consecutive games, including the 1992 national championship.

Does that mean Pittsburgh will win it all in 2007? Probably not. But there's precedent that says the Panthers can turn it around. An overtime loss at Ohio and a one-point loss at Nebraska mean that Pitt is two plays away from being 2-1. Don't be too quick to write Pittsburgh off.
